Except that this doesn't really work. Each architecture has constant
value for HZ that has also been compiled into applications. If you change
the kernel value you'll also have to account for that by either recompiling
your applications. Got plenty of time and source for all your apps? Ok ...
The better alternative is to modify the system interfaces which return results
in jiffies such as times(2) and /proc.
